MELBOURNE : Carlos Alcaraz began his bid to complete a career Grand Slam with an imperfect but entertaining 6-1 7-5 6-1 win over Kazakh Alexander Shevchenko to ease into the Australian Open second round on Monday.
MELBOURNE : World number one Jannik Sinner opened his Australian Open title defence in blazing sunshine with a win over Nicolas Jarry on Rod Laver Arena on Monday that brought the scourge of doping in the sport back into focus.
Two-time Grand Slam runner-up Stefanos Tsitsipas said "it sucks" after being on the end of the first big upset of the Australian Open on Monday, with the worst part having to hang around before his next tournament. The 11th-seeded Greek, who played Novak Djokovic in the 2023 final at Melbourne Park, crashed out 7-5, 6-3, 2-6, 6-4 to American Alex Michelsen in the first round. "The most frustrating part about losing in the first round of a Grand Slam is that you have way too much time to recover, and I would rather have the other way around where I don't have enough time to recover," he said.

Coco Gauff fired an Australian Open warning shot Monday as she swept aside former champion and fellow American Sofia Kenin in straight sets on Rod Laver Arena. The world number three, who is unbeaten this year after leading the US to win the United Cup, eased past the 2020 Melbourne Park winner 6-3, 6-3 in 80 minutes. "I knew it was going to be difficult, but you know, I'm happy with how I played," said Gauff, the 2023 US Open champion who admitted to being troubled when serving by the fierce Melbourne sunshine.
Aryna Sabalenka became an overnight internet sensation after busting out some dance moves on court at the Australian Open on Sunday night. After beating Sloane Stephens in straight sets, Sabalenka was invited to recreate a Tiktok dance routine with her team by on-court interviewer Jelena Dokic. "I'm not the best dancer, but I'll try my best," a slightly taken aback world number one said after the pre-tournament social media post was played on Rod Laver Arena. "But only if the whole crowd will join in," beckoned Sabalenka.
